My claim was that the advertised "hardening" all works through their default
settings - for Firefox.

Which of the patches in

https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source/src/branch/main/patches

*do* have an actual hardening effect with regard to the advertised security
benefits or actually *add* a security feature rather than enabling features that
Firefox already provides, as a default?

I did. I have yet to find something that improves security, though I'm far from
an expert and will be happily convinced otherwise.

What I see is a lot about rebranding, fixing the consequences of rebranding,
bundling UBlock Origin, building the rebranded result, and extending the
settings UI to change some of the knobs that Librewolf is tweaking.

I *do* agree that it would *not* be a good idea to pull all of that into the 
Firefox port.

I do not, however, see the point in Librewolf when I look past the marketing and
into what it actually does. But then of course, that's just my personal opinion.

cheers,
Volker
